Study on Multi-agent Synergetic Diffusion Theory of Sea Rice Technology Innovation

Abstract

The sea rice (salt-tolerant rice) technology can effectively alleviate the trend of arable land and grain output in China, which is of strategic significance for safeguarding national food security and accelerating agricultural modernization. We found that sea rice diffusion is unstable in the traditional diffusion system composed of government and farmers. Based on synergetics, we conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis of sea rice technology diffusion. In the traditional extension system, the main variable of agricultural enterprise is added, and the multi-agent collaborative diffusion model with its core is established. We find that the new diffusion system is stable and has good coordination. We conclude that the multi-agent synergetics theory of sea rice technology innovation with agricultural enterprises as the core has explanatory power for the diffusion of sea rice technology. According to the new system, sea rice diffusion can be guaranteed. The multi-agent synergistic diffusion theory complements and improves the traditional diffusion theory.
